HIS  WORK  requires  but  few  words  of  introduction  —  a  glance  through 
the  pages  will  make  clear  to  all,  whether  directly  or  remotely  concerned, 
the  importance  of  the  enterprise. 


The  elevations,  and  especially  the  floor  plans,  cannot  but  prove  invaluable 
to  all  who  are  immediately  or  distantly  identified  with  high  grade  apartment  house 
interests,  while  the  briefly  mentioned  facts  and  figures  will  always  be  of  importance. 

This  branch  of  realty  has  been,  and  still  is,  growing  rapidly  and  steadily 
year  by  year  and  the  necessity  for  an  authoritative  record  for  architects,  builders  and 
operators  has  become  very  clear,  and  the  demand  for  a  work  of  reference  which 
might  confidently  be  depended  upon,  we  have  undertaken  to  supply. 

Our  unique  position  as  publishers  of  over  nine-tenths  of  all  the  rental  booklets 
in  Greater  New  York,  gives  us  an  enormous  advantage,  and  it  is  being  utilized  in  the 
production  of  this  work. 

Every  business  man  connected  with  high  grade  apartment  house  construction 
cannot  but  recognize  that,  if  for  no  other  reason  than  the  saving  of  valuable  time 
in  looking  up  facts  connected  with  apartment  house  construction,  the  work  will  prove 
its  value.

An  Essay  on  Duplex  Apartments  in  General,  and  those  at  471  Park  Avenue 

in  Particular,  by   Richard  Morton 


It  disdains  the  timid  methods  ot    the  Nineteenth  century.     It  answers, 


THE  Duplex  Apartment  is  the  creation  of  definitely  modern  art  and  architecture, 
directly  and  completely,  a  demand  that  was  previously  not  understood. 

The  Duplex  Apartment  is  not  only  a  modern  creation;  it  is  a  New  York  creation.  In  a  metropolis  where  individual  houses  are  becoming  impossible 
and  undesirable,  it  presents  an  ideal  opportunity  for  individual  homes.  In  it  guests  can  be  entertained  attractively  and  conveniently,  and  the  family  can  live  as  much 
by  themselves  as  in  an  Italian  palace — but  more  comfortably. 

The  Duplex  Apartments  at  47  1  Park  Avenue  are  beautifully  arranged  as  well  as  beautifully  spaced.  The  generous  salon,  with  ceiling  of  double  height  and 
with  balcony  or  ingle  nook,  is  amplified  by  library  and  dining  room  and  hall,  that  open  into  it.  The  salon  is  the  great  living  room  that  corresponds  to  the 
Medieval  Hall  and  the  Classic  Atrium,  and  its  splendid  acoustic  properties  endear  it  to  singers. 

For  entertaining,  with  music  or  cards  or  dancing,  at  luncheon  or  tea  or  dinner,  the  resources  of  these  Duplex  Apartments  are  adequate — even  for  entertaining 
largely.  Just  as  the  salon  is  supplemented  by  the  dining  room  and  the  library,  so  the  kitchen  and  the  pantry  are  supplemented  by  special  rooms  in  the  basement,  for 
the  caterers'  men,  the  swift  service-elevators  keeping  them  in  quick  communication  with  the  waiters. 

The  ventilation  of  the  apartments  is  perfect,  and  the  temperature  is  uniformly  right.  This  will  be  especially  appreciated  by  any  who  have  alternately  frozen 
and  baked  in  small  rooms.  The  volume  of  air  in  the  salon  is  sufficient  for  many,  and  is  quickly  freshened  without  draft  through  fireplace  and  lofty  windows. 
The  ventilation  of  the  associated  group  of  rooms  assists  and  is  assisted  by  that  of  the  salon. 

The  superciliousness  and  ineffectiveness  of  janitors  and  superintendents  has  passed  from  jest  into  proverb,  and  from  proverb  into  lamentation.  At  471  Park 
Avenue  the  entire  service  is  under  the  direct  control  of  the  landlords,  who  are  stockholders  in  the  Company,  owning  and  occupying  over  half  of  the  apartments. 
They  are  in  a  position  to  see  things  from  the  lessee's  point  of  view  and  they  have  the  power  to  get  action. 

The  stockholders  being  anxious  to  have  the  furnishings  or  the  apartments  conform  to  the  general  high  character  of  the  building,  specially  engaged  a  firm  of 
architectural  decorators  to  design,  install  and  finish  the  woodwork  and  interior  fitments.  They  will  co  operate  generously  with  these  or  other  decorators  to  carry  out 
the  wishes  of  lessees. 

The  decorative  possibilities  of  the  salons  are  many.  Individual  taste  can  express  itself  freely.  There  is  room  for  large  and  unusual  pieces  of  furniture,  for 
tapestries  and  embroideries,  and  for  carved  mirrors  and  lamps  and  statuary.  Yet  the  fundamental  lines  are  so  noble,  that  with  the  simplest  treatment  and  little 
ornamentation  there  is  no  appearance  of  coldness  or  bareness. 

There  can  be  no  lack  of  light  by  either  day  or  evening.     The  windows  are  wide  and  high.     The  lighting  fixtures  and  extra  attachments  are  many  and  well 

placed. 

There  are  no  dark  walls  or  dark  ceilings  to  devour  the  illumination.  The  salons  are  in  waxed  straight-oak,  the  libraries  and  dining  rooms  and  bed  rooms 
painted  in  soft  tones,  the  kitchens  and  pantries  in  natural  birch,  the  bath  rooms  enameled  white. 

Filmy,  transparent  draperies  should  be  employed  freely  to  temper  the  brightness  of  sun  and  sky,  especially  in  the  broad  light  of  the  salons  where  elaborate 
overdraperies  will  not  be  out  of  place.     Silk  and  opal  and  mosaic  shades  in  luminous  colors  will  soften  the  artificial  light. 

The  apartments,  as  lettered  on  the  plan  of  the  living  room  floor,  are  A,  B,  C,  D,  E,  all  with  vacuum  cleaning,  refrigeration,  and  private  service  elevator. 
All  are  duplex,  with  two  story  salon,  except  the  E's,  that  are  single  floor  bachelor  suites,  consisting  of  living  room,  hall,  chamber,  bath  and  pantry  having  full  kitchen 
equipment. 

The  building  is  admirably  situated  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Fifty-eighth  street.  One  is  impressed  by  the  dignity  and  agreeable  proportions  of  the  faqade, 
whether  approaching  from  north  or  south  or  west.  The  lofty  arched  windows  of  the  duplex  salons  have  been  made  an  interesting  part  of  the  elevation,  the  ground  of 
which  is  gray  brick  enlivened  with  Moravian  tiles  in  dull  reds  and  greens.     This  is  simplicity  without  monotony. 

The  entrance  is  set  off  majestically  by  a  straight  pediment  carried  on  six  massive 
carved  columns.  The  marquise  and  doors  are  glass,  and  iron  that  has  been  wrought 
into  beautiful  shapes.  On  the  left  of  the  vestibule  are  a  waiting  room  and  a  telephone 
room. 

The  public  foyer  is  domed  with  glass,  and 
floored  with  deep  red  Welsh  tiles.  The  walls,  and 
frieze,  and  ceiiing  are  paneled  in  Caen  stone. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  about  the  safety  of 
the  building.  It  is  as  completely  proof  against  fire 
as  apartment  houses  of  this  type  can  be  made.  If 
you  are  a  collector,  you  can  without  fear  close  the 
door  behind  you  and  travel  around  the  world.  It 
is  not  necessary  to  send  books,  or  jewels,  or 
musical  instruments,  or  laces,  or  textiles  to  storage. 
Here  they  are  under  constant  surveillance  and  are 
safe.

sard story  is  richly  furnished  and  is 
conducted  as  a  sun  parlor  for  the 
comfort  and  convenience  of  tenants  ;

front  and  90  feet  on  71st  street. 

Rents  of  the  Chatsworth  and  Annex 
are  from  $1,000  to  $4,500. 


IO 


HPABTMENT   HOUSES  OE  THE  METROPOLIS 


JOHNSON-KAHN COMPANY 


H^HE  JOHNSON-KAHN  COMPANY  was  organized  in  1902, 
in  which  year  they  erected  the  Chatsworth  Apartments,  at 
Riverside  Drive  and  72nd  Street,  a  massive  structure  in  the 
modern  Renaissance  style  of  architecture,  which  at  that  time  was 
the  largest  and  most  complete  building  of  its  kind  in  the  world.  Its 
site,  directly  on  the  river  front  and  at  the  start  of  Riverside  Drive, 
gives  it  that  exclusiveness  of  character  which  cannot  be  duplicated, 
while  its  many  appointments  for  comfort,  pure  air  and  health  all 
tend  to  make  the  perfect  home.  Two  years  of  conscientious  labor 
brought  this  operation  to  a  successful  conclusion  and  two  years  later 
the  company  erected  an  eight-story  annex  to  the  Chatsworth  on 
72nd  street.  The  Annex  contains  but  one  apartment  on  a  floor  of 
eleven  rooms  and  four  baths  and  from  their  size  and  plan,  together 
with  its  many  conveniences,  make  a  floor  equal  to  a  five-story,  25 
foot  private  house.  The  same  year  of  the  building  of  the  Chats- 
worth Annex  the  Hendrik  Hudson  Company  was  organized, 
which  is  a  companion  company  to  the  Johnson-Kahn  Company, 
the  President  being  George  F.  Johnson,  Sr.  ;  Vice-President, 
Leopold  Kahn ;  Treasurer,  George  F.  Johnson,  Jr.,  and  Secretary, 
George  f.  Johnson,  Jr.  Aleck  Kahn.    In  the  early  Summer  of  1906  ground  was  broken  for 

the  greatest  of  their  undertakings,  the  Hendrik  Hudson  Apartments. 

It  is  a  safe  prediction  that  in  any  future  day,  no  matter  what 
the  changes  may  be,  any  list  of  great  apartment  houses  of  this  time 
will  certainly  mention  the  Chatsworth  and  Hendrik  Hudson 
apartments. 

The  magnitude  of  the  buildings,  their  perfect  appointments 
for  comfort  and  convenience,  the  charming  localities,  their  exclusive- 
ness, all  combine  to  make  ideal  places  of  residence.  One  primary 
thought  w  as  in  the  minds  of  architect  and  builders  who  were  iden- 
tified with  these  massive  structures,  and  that  was  comfort  combined 
with  safety.  In  every  particular  these  strictly  fireproof  buildings  have 
been  designed  with  a  view  to  health.  Pure  air  and  ample  light 
have  been  regarded  as  essentials. 

The  Hendrik  Hudson  and  addition  has  a  frontage  of  90  feet 
on  Broadway,  295  feet  on  Cathedral  Parkway  ( 1  1  oth  street),  208 
feet  on  Riverside  Drive  by  135  feet  on  West  111th  street,  contains 
130  apartments,  and  is  the  largest  apartment  house  built  in  1906 
to  1908. 

The  architect  of  this  latter  operation,  William  L.  Rouse,  for- 
merly of  Rouse  6c  Sloan,  has  much  to  be  proud  of. 

This  building  combination,  of  which  Mr.  Geo.  F.  Johnson,  Jr., 
and  Mr.  Aleck  Kahn  are  the  only  active  members,  and  who,  alone,  Aleck  Kahn 

attend  to  the  many  details  of  construction,  contemplate  several  large  operations,  and  it  is  their  purpose  to  erect 
only  very  large  and  very  high-class  apartment  houses.

LOCATION  unequaled  as  an  exclusive  residential  abode  com- 
bined with  unsurpassed  transit  facilities,  tf  Situated  at  the  radical 
point  of  three  great  arteries  of  transit — Amsterdam  Avenue, 
Seventy-Second  Street  and  Broadway.  ^  The  tenants  have  every 
method  of  local  transit,  underground,  surface  and  elevated,  at  com- 
mand. ^  A  two-minutes  walk  brings  one  to  Central  and  Riverside 
Parks.  ^  In  the  fanciful  and  splendid  style  of  the  modern  French 
Renaissance,  its  facades  rise  to  a  height  of  twelve  stories,  crowned  by 
domelike  roofs.  f§  A  glance  at  the  illustration  on  the  next  page 
will  show  that  no  thought  or  expense  was  spared  to  achieve 
the  most  artistic  results. 

The  main  entrance  is  reached  by  traversing  the  large  court 
driveway  opening  on  Seventy-first  street.  <fl  The  outer  vestibule  is  screened  inside  and 
out  with  massive  iron  doors,  and  is  finished  in  limestone  with  wall  foundations  at 
either  end.  If  The  main  hall,  of  good  proportion,  leads  into  the  reception  room 
in  the  rear.    C|  It  is  flanked  by  the  grand  staircase  and  elevators,  right  and  left. 

The  decorations  here  are  of  various  marbles,  ornamental  plaster,  bronze  work  and 
leaded  glass.    <|  The  style  reverts  to  the  period  of  Louis  XVI. 

The  building  has  its  own  heating,  lighting,  refrigerating  and  power  plants,  situated 
in  an  open  court,  which  prevents  any  noise  or  vibration  through  the  building. 

The  Building  has  a  frontage  of  1 10  feet  on  71st  street  by  105  feet  on  Amsterdam 
avenue,  irregular.  There  are  four  apartments  on  a  floor  of  five,  seven,  eight  and  nine 
rooms  and  one,  two  and  three  baths.  If  The  trim  is  of  mahogany,  oak,  white  enamel 
and  bird's-eye  maple.  Cfl  The  halls  contain  wainscot  panels.  C|  The  ceilings  of  the  dining 
rooms  are  beamed  and  a  high  wooden  wainscoting  is  carried  around  these  rooms  under 
a  Dutch  shelf  mould.  ^  Glass  doors  separate  the  main  rooms  and  between  the  conser- 
vatory and  dining  room.  C|  The  bath  rooms  have  a  wainscot  of  French  plate  glass 
mirrors  above  the  tile.  IJ  The  floors  are  parquet.  €|  A  glass  lined  refrigerator  in  each 
apartment  is  artificially  cooled  and  ventilated  by  the  most  approved  methods. 
<]J  Electricity  is  furnished  free  at  all  hours.  <J  Two  elevators,  equipped  with  a  special 
device  to  give  an  easy  start  and  stop,  are  for  the  exclusive  use  of  tenants.  C|  A  third 
elevator  is  for  delivery,  freight  and  servants. 

Apartments  rent  from  si, 700  to  §4,000.

the  art  of  man  has  accomplished,  the  situation 
of  these  apartments  can  honestly  be  regarded 
as  being  among  the  most  favored. 

The  location  is  such  that  one  may  go  to 
any  point  without  trouble.  The  Subway 
express  station  is  two  short  blocks  away, 
the  Amsterdam  and  Third  avenue  surface 
cars  one  block,  while  the  Broadway  and 
Seventh  avenue  surface  lines  pass  the  house. 

The  Building  is  ten  stories  in  height, 
and  strictly  fireproof.  It  has  a  frontage  of 
125  feet  on  Broadway  by  115  feet  on  112th 
street.    Plot  is  125  feet  by  125  feet. 

There  are  five  apartments  on  a  floor,  in 
suites  of  six,  seven  and  nine  rooms  and 
two  and  three  baths.  The  parlors  and 
libraries  are  finished  in  white  enamel  with 
mahogany  doors  ;  dining  rooms  in  antique 
quartered  oak,  paneled  and  beamed  ceilings. 
Conveniences,  material  and  finish  of  these 
apartments  are  in  keeping  with  the  highest 
class  apartments. 


THE  natural  beauty  and  the  interesting 
view  from  the  windows  of  The 
Washington  Irving  cannot  be 
duplicated  in  this  city.  The  famous  River- 
side Drive,  the  grand  stretch  of  the  Hudson 
and  the  purple-tinted  cliffs  of  the  Palisades, 
which  are  ever  changing  and  ever  charming- — 
a  panorama  of  delightful  views — is  ever  before 
the  occupant  of  The  Washington  Irving. 
In  close  proximity  are  the  magnificent  build- 
ings of  which  the  whole  world  knows,  and 
of  which  the  city  is  justly  proud  —  the  mau- 
soleum of  General  Grant,  the  Cathedral  of 
St.  John  the  Divine,  Columbia  University 
and  many  other  schools  and  colleges  and 
points  of  interest  that  it  would  be  tiresome 
to  enumerate. 

The  invigorating  air  from  the  river  and 
the  cliffs  is  no  small  factor  in  making  this 
locality  very  desirable  as  a  site  for  a  home. 
In  short,  when  all  the  facts  are  taken  into 
consideration,  what  nature  has  done  and  what

J.  AXELROD 
Builder 


/^\F  sturdy  stock,  materially  aided  by  surroundings  and  conditions  which  have  developed  to  the  utmost  his  true  value 
in  his  chosen  field,  Mr.  J.  Axelrod,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  stands  pre-eminent  among  the  foremost  of  his  calling. 
Born  in  Stuttgart,  in  Saxony,  in  the  year  1866,  he  passed  his  early  youth  minus   the  advantages  of  luxury,  but 

in  the  enjoyment  of  good  health  and  with  a  tendancy  to  invigorating  pursuits  which 
would  all  the  better  aid  him  in  developing  those  good  traits  of  character  which 
later  became  so  characteristic. 

A  business  career  was  entered  upon  by  him  in  1889  and  real  estate  was 
the  chosen  field — his  first  operations  being  in  the  then  City  of  Brooklyn,  where 
he  erected  a  number  of  flat-houses,  which  proved  a  most  satisfactory  business  enter- 
prise. This  was  soon  followed  by  operations  in  New  York,  among  which  might  be 
mentioned  the  Manhattan  Hotel,  the  Victoria,  the  St.  James,  West  End,  Terrace 
Court  and  St.  Denis  in  New  York  City. 

The  first  building  enterprise  was  in  1896,  when  a  row  of  twenty-five-foot  flats 
was  built  in  Eighty-third  street.  The  second  was  on  Ninety-third  street,  near  River- 
side Drive,  where  two  apartment  houses  were  built  in  1899.  In  1900,  five  apartment 
houses  were  constructed  in  West  Ninety-fourth  street,  Nos.  306  to  316  inclusive. 
Then  in  rapid  succession  followed  St.  James  Court;  Manhattan  Hotel;  Victoria 
West  End,  West  I22d  street;  the  Grant;  Delaware,  I22d  street;  Girard  ;  Miami; 
Spencer  Apartments,  in  West  121st  street;  and  on  West  115th  street,  the  Colonial, 
Munroe  and  Cragsmoor.  In  1905,  he  constructed  two  apartment  buildings  on  93rd 
street,  near  Riverside  Drive.  In  the  years  1904-05,  he  built  Terrace  Court,  a  ten-story  fireproof  apartment  building,  125 
feet  by  100  feet.  In  the  same  years  he  reared  the  Riverview  and  Clarence,  on  West  93rd  street.  The  years  1905-6, 
saw  the  St.  Denis,  a  ten-story  fireproof  dwelling,  on  92nd  street  and  Riverside  Drive,  arrive  at  completion.  In  1907,  the 
Vancouver  on  West  93rd  street,  and  a  75-foot  six-story  apartment  house  identical 
with  the  Vancouver,  on  West  94th  street,  raised  their  substantial  lines  to  view, 
followed  in  1907,  by  Hague  Court,  corner  of  1 1 8 th  street  and  Morningside  Drive 
and  the  East  View  and  the  Terrace,  corner  of  11  8th  street  and  Morningside  Drive. 
In  1908,  he  completed  the  Hanover  on  83rd  street  and  Park  avenue,  a  nine- 
story  fireproof  structure.  He  now  has  in  course  of  construction,  three 
71-foot  apartment  buildings  on  West  143d  street,  between  Broadway  and  Amsterdam 
avenue. 

Surely  this  is  an  enviable  record  for  any  builder,  but  Mr.  Axelrod  contemplates 
many  important  operations  in  the  future. 

Remarkably  self-reliant  at  all  times,  he  has  pushed  his  various  enterprises  to 
success  by  personal  application  alone. 

Mr.  George  F.  Pelham  has  been  associated  with  Mr.  Axelrod  as  architect 
in  all  of  his  operations  and  is  one  of  the  foremost  and  best  known  architects  in  New 
York  City. 

Mr.  George  J.  Cohn,  Secretary  of  the  West  Side  Construction  Co.,  has  been 
practically  identified  with  the  building  industry  for  over  forty  years,  and  during  that 
period  has  personally  directed  and  brought  to  completion  over  seventy-five  of  New  York's  substantial  residential  and  other 
structures.  His  advice  and  experience  have  proven  of  great  value  in  this  aggregation  of  building  talent  and  Mr.  Axelrod's 
success  is  largely  due  to  the  untiring  efforts  and  assistance  of  the  two  gentlemen  referred  to.

JOSEPH  PATERNO 


PATERNO   BROS.,  Inc. 

CHARLES  and  JOSEPH  PATERNO,  the  subjects  of  this  sketch,  are  the  sons  of  the  late  John  Paterno,  who  died  in 
1899.    At  the  time  of  his  demise  the  elder  Paterno  had  attained  an  eminence  and  position  among  the  contractors  and 

His  ability  and  thoroughness  in  the  field  in  which  he  labored  was  augmented 
by  his  sterling  integrity  and  conscientious  application  to  the  vast  interests  that 
claimed  his  attention.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  had  under  construction, 
among  other  undertakings,  two  typical  apartment  structures  on  West  112th 
street  and  four  similar  buildings  on  106th  street,  on  which  he  had  labored 
with  all  the  earnestness  he  was  capable  of  and  in  which  his  pride  as  a  builder 
^EL^^^  ^       was  concentrated.     He  was  destined  never  to  witness  the  fruition  of  his  work. 

At  this  critical  moment  in  their  lives  the  young  men,  Charles  and  Joseph 
Paterno,  were  enjoying  the  advantages  made  possible  by  the  thrift  and  industry 
of  their  father.  Charles  had  just  completed  the  collegiate  course  at  Cornell 
University,  and  was  the  proud  possessor  of  an  M.  D.  diploma,  having 
received  his  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine,  after  a  painstaking  and  worthy 
struggle,  in  which  he  earned  deserved  credit.  His  brother  Joseph,  scarcely 
1  8  years  of  age,  was  pursuing  his  studies,  preliminary  to  a  college  course,  in 
the  high  schools  of  this  city.  Of  the  structures  upon  which  their  father 
had  labored,  and  which,  at  his  death,  stood  incomplete,  were  the  two  apartment 
houses,  507-9  West  112th  street,  destined  to  stand  as  a  monument  to  the  elder 
Paterno's  application  and  constructive  ability.  But  three  stories  of  this  fine  structure  had  been  raised,  when  these  young  men 
found  themselves  called  upon  to  assume  the  undertaking  and  management  of  their  father's  affairs.  Young  in  years,  they  had, 
nevertheless,  studied  the  business  standards  and  principles  demonstrated  by  their  parent,  and  their  familiarity  with  his  methods 
coupled  with  their  inherited  business  capacity,  soon  acquainted  them  with  the  conditions  and  possibilities  made  imperative  by  his 
death,  and  with  what  success  they  undertook  the  task,  the  completion  of  this  structure  under  their  guidance,  speaks  most  plainly. 
"  Excelsior  "  has  been  their  watchword,  and  by  united  effort,  coupled  with  indomitable  energy,  what  measure  of  standing  and 
responsibility  they  enjoy  in  their  chosen  field  of  energy,  is  richly  deserved. 

With  the  completion  of  the  aforementioned  two  apartment  houses  and  other  unfinished  work  left  to  them,  they  entered 
into  the  profession  of  their  father  with  an  inherited  assiduity  and  have  erected  in  upper  New  York  some  of  its  most  substantial 
and  pleasing  apartment  houses  and  dwellings,  among  which  are:  San  Mareno,  on  West  112th  street  and  the  Salome,  built  in 
1900-1,  a  seven-story  apartment  house  on  105th  street;  El  Casco  Court,  on  103rd  street,  1901-2;  Putnam  Court,  West 
104th  street,  1902-3;  Warren  Hall,  West  1 1  5th  street,  1903  ;  Revere  Hall, 
West  114th  street,  1904-5;  Hudson  Hall,  West  114th  street,  1904-5; 
Cathedral  Court,  West  115th  street  and  Morningside  Drive,  1 904-5 
In  these  later  operations  Charles  Paterno  was  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the 
company,  Joseph  Paterno  was  president,  and  their  brother-in-law,  Mr.  Victor 
Cerebone,  was  vice-president. 

In  1905-6  Charles  and  Joseph  jointly  constructed  two  corner  and  two 
inside  apartment  houses,  covering  the  entire  block  front  on  Morningside 
Drive,  from  115th  to  11 6th  streets,  namely:  the  La  Valenciennes,  La 
Touraine,  Mount  Cenis  and  Park  Court,  these  structures  being  disposed 
of  within  six  months  of  their  completion.  This  successful  venture  was 
followed  by  the  construction  of  a  number  of  ten  and  twelve  story  fireproof 
apartment  houses 

The  years  1906-7  were  identified  with  the  erection  of  two  ten-story 
buildings,  the  Fioraville  and  Paterno,  616-620  West  11 6th  street.  Following 
this,  in  1907-8,  and  up  to  the  present  time,  they  were  busily  employed  in  the 
erection  of  a  splendid  twelve-story  and  basement  dwelling  in  conjunction  with 

an  imposing  edifice  of  ten  stories,  besides  several  others  in  preparation.  Their  success  has  been  most  deserved,  and  when  inde- 
fatigable industry,  conscientious  dealing  and  business  ability  are  coupled  with  artistic  and  mechanical  thoroughness,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  determination  to  use  none  but  the  best  materials  and  to  insist  upon  the  highest  class  workmanship,  we  know  why 
these  young  men  have  succeeded  so  signally. 

Mr.  V.  Cerebone,  upon  the  completion  of  Warren  Hall,  severed  his  relations  with  the  Paterno  Brothers  and  entered  into 
business  as  a  contractor  and  builder,  and  has  met  with  gratifying  success.

ROBERT  M.  SILVERMAN 


IDFXTIFIFD  with  the  gigantic  strides  made  in  recent  years  in  the  attempts  to  beautify  the  "City  Beautiful"  by  the  com- 
bined efforts  of  both  architect  and  builder,  we  mention  one  who  has  by  reason  of  youth  and  signal  ability,  deservedly  earned 
a  place  among  his  fellows  as  a  progressive  and  popular  builder.  Mr.  Robert  M.  Silverman  is  a  native  New  Yorker,  and 
was  born  September  19th,  1875,  ant^  at  tms  writing  has  reached  his  thirty-second  birthday.  Born  of  sterling,  rugged  ancestry, 
his  early  ambition  to  fit  himself  for  the  stolid  business  of  life  was  further  advanced  in  that  his  parents  granted  him  every  oppor- 
tunity that  was  within  their  far-seeing  province.  Through  their  instrumentality  largely  has  he  reached  the  flattering  position 
in  business  life  which  he  enjoys  to-day.  By  the  same  indomitable  energy,  perseverance  and  adhesiveness  to  all  undertakings 
that  were  characteristics  of  pere  and  mere  Silverman,  the  son  Robert  is  identified.  At  an  early  age  he  entered  Grammar  School 
No.  68  in  this  city,  from  whence  he  graduated  to  City  College.  His  application  to  his  studies  and  proficiency  were  of  a  notable 
order,  and  step  by  step  he  advanced,  until  he  attained  the  highest  honors  possible  in  this  institution  of  learning — fully  intending 


to  enter  upon  and  follow  the  High 
School  course  as  a  necessary  adjunct 
to  fit  him  for  higher  studies.  But 
luck  destined  otherwise,  and  at  this 
important  period  of  his  life  he 
grasped  the  opportunity  that  proved 
to  be  the  "  tide  that  leads  on  to 
fortune."  Having  completed  the 
school  course  preparatory  to  enter- 
ing business,  he  was,  in  a  very  short 
time,  qualified  to  enter  the  field  in 
his  individual  capacity  as  a  con- 
ractor  and  builder,  and  in  the  year 
1897  we  find  him  equipped  and  en- 
gaged in  erecting  a  building  that  has 
proven  a  lasting  tribute  to  his  enter- 
prise and  ability,  for,  notwithstand- 
ing his  youthfulness — he  was  only 
twenty-two  years  of  age  at  this 
time  —  he  carried  to  completion  that 
substantial  and  well-constructed 
apartment  house,  the  De  Leon, 
5C-52  West  1 1 2th  street.  Phenom- 
enal as  it  may  seem,  this  stroke  of 
genius  was  but  a  forerunner  of  aston- 
ishing efforts  to  follow.  Very  shortly 
afterward,  he  constructed  the  Fron- 
tenac,  76  West  113th   street;  the 


Robert  M.  Silverman 


Beatrice,  35-37  West  131st  street; 
the  Rosedale,  352  West  11 8th 
street;  the  Claire,  348  West  11 8th 
street;  the  Robert,  14-16  West 
107th  street;  the  Millard,  18-20 
West  107th  street;  Manhattan 
Court,  southeast  corner  of  101st 
street  and  Manhattan  avenue ;  the 
Richfield,  4  Manhattan  avenue; 
the  Sharon,  2  Manhattan  avenue, 
and  the  Mont  Clemens,  at  8  Man- 
hattan avenue ;  New  University 
Court,  northwest  corner  1 1  7th  street 
and  Morningside  avenue  West,  a 
house  containing  nine  families  on  a 
floor,  54  families  to  the  building, 
one  of  the  largest  of  its  six-story 
types  in  New  York  ;  the  Judson, 
southeast  corner  108th  street  and 
Manhattan  avenue ;  The  Junior, 
northeast  corner  107th  street  and 
Manhattan  avenue  ;  the  Emperor, 
154  Manhattan  avenue;  the 
Princely,  158  Manhattan  avenue; 
the  Earlington,  162  Manhattan 
avenue;  225-227-229  West  69th 
street,  bachelor  apartment  house, 
and    at   this    writing    he    has  in 


preparation  several  high-class  structures  that  will  further  add  to  his  renown  as  a  capable  builder  and  one  possessed  of  attributes 
and  characteristics  that  must  make  for  his  future  success  in  no  unmistaken  tones. 

Mr.  Silverman  as  a  man  among  men  occupies  a  position  of  no  uncertain  tenor.  His  character  and  nature  have 
eminently  fitted  him  to  command  confidence  and  attract  to  his  clientele  men  of  large  undertakings  and  capital.  His  value 
in  his  chosen  field  of  industry  has  manifested  itself  so  materially  in  the  many  and  stupendous  undertakings  he  has  so  signally 
completed,  that  worth  and  merit  alone  have  surrounded  him  with  friends  and  patrons  that  have  helped  him  attain  the 
eminence  he  possesses  in  New  York's  business  world.  Blunt  and  outspoken,  but  decidedly  to  the  point,  in  all  his  discussions 
on  matters  of  business,  he  is,  withal,  of  a  kindly  and  charitable  disposition,  and  one  in  whose  veins  flows  an  inexhaustible 
supply  of  the  corpuscles  of  human  kindness.  He  is  a  typical  "good  fellow,"  and  one  finds  him  always  in  a  humorous  mood 
and  as  ready  to  receive  a  jest  as  to  impart  one.  He  nevertheless  will  tolerate  no  shirking  or  indifference  upon  the  part  of  his 
employes  or  sub-contractors.  His  insistance  upon  a  fair  day's  work  for  a  fair  day's  pay,  and  a  strict  adherence  to  the  spirit  and 
intent  of  any  and  all  contracts  made  by  him  with  various  colaborers  in  his  field  of  energy,  have  become  as  characteristic 
as  is  his  daily  life  of  energy  and  hard  work. 

Young  as  he  was  at  the  beginning  of  his  career  as  a  builder  and  contractor,  whose  field  was  the  upbuilding  and  rearing  of 
structures  for  dwelling  purposes,  his  intuition  as  to  the  possiblities  of  upper  New  York  as  a  field  for  the  exploitation  of  the 
grand  and  beautiful  in  architectural  channels,  was  no  idle  dream.  To-day  his  fondest  ideals  have  attained  reality,  and  as  one 
gazes  upon  the  vast  aggregation  of  beautiful  buildings  that  rear  their  handsome  and  substantial  lines  along  the  beautiful 
Riverside  Drive  and  contiguous  thoroughfares,  the  credit  for  this  "Garden  Spot  of  the  Metropolis  "  is  in  no  small  measure  due 
to  the  intelligence,  thrift  and  public  spirit  of  such  men  as  Robert  M.  Silverman,  and  his  colaborers,  without  whose  practical  and 
valuable  skill  this  pleasing  condition  never  could  have  been  attained.

ROBERT  WALLACE 

IN  ancient  days  'twas  said  of  one,  by  the  wisest  man,  "  and  his  works  do  follow  him."    The  words  which  were  spoken  in 
that  far  distant  day  may,  with  equal  truth,  be  said  in  this,  our  day  and  generation,  and  will  be  quite  as  appropriate  in 
the  days  to  come.    Surely  the  works  of  Robert  Wallace  will  remain  a  silent,  but  eloquent  monument  to  the  man,  and 
a  testimonial  to  brains  and  energy  employed  in  the  interests  with  which  he  was  so  closely  identified. 

Any  record  concerning  the  growth  and  development  of  private  residences  and  of  high-class  apartment  house 
property,  especially  in  that  section  of  New  York  known  as  the  Upper  West  Side,  would  be  incomplete  unless  mention 
was  made  of  the  efforts  and  the  successes  which  have  followed  the  efforts  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch. 

In  the  beginning  of  his  successful  career  Mr.  Wallace  directed  his  energies  primarily  to  private  residences,  and 
numerous  substantial  houses  were  erected  in  localities  which  were  carefully  selected  for  their  desirable  advantages  as  home 
sites.  About  sixty-three  private  houses  were  put  up  by  Mr.  Wallace,  for  all  of  which  there  have  been  ready  purchasers, 
a  testimony  more  eloquent  than  any  words,  for  it  unmistakably  pointed  to  the  confidence  which  was  placed  in  any 

six  private  houses  on  103rd  street,  be- 
tween Broadway  and  West  End  avenue  ; 
twelve  private  houses  on  101st  street, 
between  West  End  avenue  and  River- 
side Drive. 

After  the  completion  of  the  101st 
street  houses,  Mr.  Wallace  went  South 
in  order  to  supervise  the  building  of  a 
wharf.  During  his  absence  his  son, 
Robert  Wallace,  Jr.,  who  was  closely 
associated  with  him  in  all  building  enter- 
prises, carried  to  successful  completion 
the  erection  of  two  large  apartment 
houses  on  183rd  street  and  Wadsworth 
avenue  for  himself. 

Robert  Wallace,  the  senior,  having 
returned  to  the  scenes  of  his  first  build- 
ing activity,  has  again  put  forth  his 
energy  and  engaged  his  talents  in  the  field  where  he  has  been  so  long  and  favorably  known,  and  is  now  engaged,  in  con- 
junction with  his  son,  in  bringing  to  completion  an  elevator  apartment  structure  on  149th  street  and  Broadway,  which 
will  bear  his  name,  and  which  will  be  somewhat  in  the  nature  of  a  monument  to  his  memory  and  a  reminder  and  encour- 
agement to  builders  who  have  a  desire  to  improve  and  beautify  this  great  city  with  apartment  houses  worthy  of  the 
Metropolis.  It  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  no  matter  what  circumstances  may  arise  in  the  future,  no  matter  what  changes 
may  occur,  that  the  name  of  Wallace  will  always  be  identified  with  this  property. 

Mr.  W'allace  believes  that  he  has  fairly  earned  a  rest  after  the  many  years  of  intense  business  activity,  and  in  his 
son,  Robert,  Jr.,  he  has  a  worthy  successor,  in  whom  implicit  confidence  may  be  placed  for  the  carrying  out  of  any  enter- 
prise which  he  undertakes  to  a  successful  completion,  for  he  is  recognized  in  the  trade,  where  he  has  an  army  of  friends,  as 
a  man  who  is  a  worthy  successor  to  a  father,  who,  although  he  may  no  longer  take  an  active  part  in  building,  will  ever  be 
remembered  as  one  of  the  first  as  he  was  one  of  the  most  progressive  builders  in  this,  the  greatest  city  that  the  world  has 
ever  known  ;  a  city,  no  inconsiderable  part  of  which  he  built  himself. 


building  operation  with  which  Mr. 
Wallace  was  identified. 

Among  the  important  operations  there 
might  be  mentioned  the  handsome  block 
of  flats  on  Amsterdam  avenue,  between 
87th  and  88th  streets  ;  the  row  of  eleven 
houses  in  88th  street,  between  Columbus 
and  Amsterdam  avenues  ;  the  row  of 
eight  houses  in  80th  street  ;  five  houses 
in  75th  street,  between  the  same 
avenues  ;  six  houses  in  78th  street,  be- 
tween West  End  avenue  and  Riverside 
Drive  ;  eight  houses  in  68th  street  be- 
tween Eighth  avenue  and  Columbus 
avenue  ;  in  96th  street  seven  flats, 
between  Columbus  and  Amsterdam 
avenues  ;  seven  private  houses  on  96i.l1 
street,  between  Eighth  and  Columbus  ;

View  Looking  South 


The  building  is  seven  stories  in  height  and 
absolutely  fireproof,  having  four  apartments  on  a  floor 
of  eight  and  nine  rooms  and  three  baths. 

Some  of  the  special  features  are:  A  pneumatic 
renovating  and  cleaning  apparatus,  electrical  attach- 
ments for  lamps  in  main  chambers,  parlors  and 
libraries,  a  drying  apparatus  in  basement ;  two 
separate  heating  and  hot  water  plants  are  installed, 
one  of  which  is  held  in  reserve  at  all  times  pending 
possible  mishap  to  the  one  in  operation. 

Size,  76  feet  6  inches  front  by  1  3  9  feet  on  street. 
Rents  from  $1,800  to  $2,200. 


^  I  ^HIS  location,  on  the  high  shore  of  the  Hudson} 
commanding  extensive  views  of  the  River 
and  surroundings,  surely  is  ideal.     It  would 

be  superrlous  to  add  that  the  situation  is  healthful  in 

every    particular — a    glance    at    the  accompaning 

illustrations  speak  for  themselves. 

Surface  cars,  the  Subway  express  station  at 
96th  street,  the  Grand  Central  station  within  ten 
minutes,  are  at  the  command  of  tenants,  and  yet 
there  is  absolute  quiet  and  seclusion  from  the  noise 
and  annoyance  of  the  great  city.

EMANUEL   M.   KRULE WITCH 


'  J^HE  immortal  poet  truly  said  of  a  great  man,  "Not  to  know    him    is  to    argue  one's  self  unknown." 


This 

applies  in   a  peculiarly  strong   manner  concerning  the  subject  of  this   sketch,   Emanuel    M.    Krulewitch.  Any 
operator  in  upper  New  York  real  estate,  who  is  not  familiar  with  the  name  of  Krulewitch,  has  something  essential 
to  learn  before  he  can  talk  intelligently  concerning  the  growth  and  development  of  this  great  interest  which  is  identical 
with  the  growth  and  advancement  of  the  city. 

About  thirty  years  ago  Mr.  Krulewitch  first  saw  the  light  of  day.  We  do  not  know  that  at  that  time  he 
gave  evidence  of  a  keen  understanding  of  what  was  going  on  about  him,  but  it  did  not  require  many  years  for 
him  to  realize  that  this  was  a  world  in  which  intelligent  activity  counted,  for  at  the  early  age  of  fifteen,  having  received 
a  public  school  education  which  entitled  him  to  graduation  and  a  higher  course  of  study,  he  entered  into  business  with 
his  father,  who  was  engaged  in  real  estate  transactions  in  the  Metropolis,  and  there,  in  the  office  and  outside  in  the  field 
of  activity,  obtained  a  practical  knowledge  of  a  business  where  he  could  put  to  very  good  use  the  education  which  he 
had  received  in  the  public  school. 

About  sixteen  years  ago,  or  from  1892  to  1900,  he  entered  into  business  as  a  general  contractor,  under  the  firm 
name  of  Emanuel   M.  Krulewitch.     The   practical  experience  which  it   had   been  his  good  fortune  to  secure,  combined 


with  an  energetic  nature,  soon  mani- 
fested itself,  and  several  tenement 
houses  were  erected  on  First  avenue, 
notably  those  numbered  2009,  201 1 
and  2013.  Soon  thereafter  the  name 
of  Krulewitch,  in  connection  with 
general  contracting  and  building,  was 
justly  regarded  with  high  favor  by 
those  identified  with  building  opera- 
tions who  appreciated  conscientious 
work  and  intelligent  application. 

In  the  boom  period  of  1903  he 
became  an  operator  in  real  estate? 
speculating  with  a  remarkable  degree 
of  success.  Steady  progress  soon  di- 
rected his  especial  talent  towards  high 
grade  apartment  property,  and  in  1905 


Emanuei.  M.  Krulewitch 


he  brought  to  completion  the  two 
elevator  apartment  houses,  Simna  Hall 
and  the  Marimpol  Court,  on  West 
one  hundred  and  twenty-second  street. 
About  this  time  the  Krulewitch  Realty 
Company  was  organized,  of  which  he 
is  President,  and  his  brother,  the 
Honorable  Samuel  Krulewitch,  is 
Secretary.  The  latter  gentleman  will 
be  remembered  as  the  father  of  the  five 
cent  telephone  bill,  which  he  intro- 
duced and  successfully  carried  through 
the  legislature. 

The  firm  of  Krulewitch,  Levy  & 
Weinstein  was  formed  by  him  in  1906, 
and  the  organizer  was  not  alone  the 
senior  partner,  but  was  the  executive 


member  as  well  It  was  under  this  organization  that  the  Sadivian  Arms  was  built  on  the  southwest  corner  of  145th  street  and 
St.  Nicholas  avenue,  one  of  the  best  corners  on  Washington  Heights.  The  architectural  features  of  this  pleasing  structure  are 
well  worth  noting.    The  rich  and  elaborate  front  has  withal  a  quiet  and  dignified  tone  very  pleasing  to  a  refined  taste. 

At  the  present  date  Mr.  Krulewitch  is  putting  up  two  elevator  houses  at  502  and  522  West  148th  street,  named 
respectively  the  Lusitania  and  the  Mauretania  Court,  and  further  operations  are  contemplated  in  the  near  future ;  one  will  be  a 
ten-story,  fireproof  building  on  Morningside  Drive  near  122nd  street,  and  others  will  be  built  in  localities  which  have  every- 
thing to  commend  them. 

This  brief  sketch  would  not  be  complete  without  mention  being  made  of  the  affable  nature  of  Mr.  Krulewitch,  which 
quite  naturally  makes  for  him  a  host  of  friends,  but  there  is  one  striking  business  characteristic  which  many  of  us  could  copy 
with  profit,  and  that  is  that  under  no  circumstances  will  he  let  friendship  or  any  pleasure  interfere  with  business  in  the 
slightest  manner. 

In  every  particular  he  lives  up  to  the  full  letter  of  his  agreements,  and  when  he  agrees  to  any  proposition  he  keeps  his 
word  absolutely.  Except  as  a  precaution  in  the  event  of  death,  a  verbal  contract  is  as  good  as  one  written  and  witnessed 
by  a  dozen  people.
